This Jum'ah is actually 11th of Rabi'-ul Awwal. Prohet's birthday is usually celebrated on 12th of Rabi'-al-Awwal
Like the birthday of Eisa AS which definitely is not 25th of December, the exact date of birth of Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Sallallahu Alaihiwasallam is not definitely known. Almost certainly it was Monday (day of the Week) and many dates in this month are considered authentic but 12th is more agreed upon so the 'celebration'
I do not know when Maulood or Milad started being celebrated in the history but it was definitely not celebrated during the early period of Islam. There is no question that this was a very important event in the history of mankind (Like Yusuf Islam says) but all kind of poorly understood and week ahadeeth and perhaps even maudooa' ones are narrated in such 'celebrations' which I am not going to narrate here. There is definitely lot of exaggeration totally unwanted and sometimes disrespectful
It is not considered strictly speaking a "religious" duty but today all over the Muslim world you will find this day a holiday and celebrations that take on a cultural color according to the country where it is celebrated. From my days of Lahore (1948 to 1959) I did not see such celebrations that I see now-a-days. I have attended "milads" yes and have enjoyed N'at khwani (poetry in praise of the prophet SAWS) but the reason for which the group of people will stand-up to say "darood" (salawat) on the prophet is not popular with me. I heard that "because the prophet is now in our midst in this 'majlis' (sitting) we should stand up" As a child it appeared strange to me but when I read this sahih hadeeth I knew why I did not lik it.
Narrated in Abu Dawood from Abu Umamah RA said that one day we were in the Masjid sitting and the prophet SAWS came to us leaning on a staff and we all stood up. He said Do not stand up for me like the 'ajami' (non-Arab?) people who do that for each-other (way of showing respect)'
There is no doubt that Muslims should say salat (darood) on the prophet SAWS daily (and we do in each salat many time daily) as the Qur'an says clearly (Sura al-ahzab)
Muslims are also encouraged to send blessings on the prophet PBUH on Fridays.
There is no doubt that we as human beings and especially Muslims owe a lot of respect for this man. We cannot thank him enough and we cannot be grateful to the Almighty enough for "giving" us this man, sending him for our guidance for indeed we were really totally lost without him and he showed us the right way. There are more solid and pressing reasons for us to do that (be thankful) than what I am writing here.

Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.Muslims are also encouraged to send blessings on the prophet PBUH on Fridays.
